ABOUT US

A bridge between Georgia and European football.

Playr 99 was founded in 2025 by Ioane Kariauli and Nikoloz Jvebenava — two partners with a lifelong background in sport, academic training in Business Administration, and almost 10 years of living and working across Europe.

OUR MISSION

Helping Georgian athletes reach their highest potential.

Our agency operates primarily in Georgia and across Europe. We exist to connect Georgian athletes with professional opportunities in European markets — giving them the representation, network, and long-term guidance they deserve.

We noticed something: even top sports agencies in Europe often lack strong marketing, branding, and a modern public presence. We're building Playr 99 to be different — operationally rigorous and culturally fluent, with a brand that reflects the ambition of the players we represent.
